Toronto, ON – The Blockchain Research Institute ™ (BRI) today unveiled its first publicly available research compilation, Financial Services Revolution: How Blockchain Is Transforming Money, Markets, and Banking. Under agreement with the members who fund the BRI, select research may be made available to the public after an exclusivity period. This is the first of a series of four books to be published in 2020.
With some of the world’s leading thinkers in blockchain and finance contributing chapters, the book surveys the coming digital storm in the world of banking and financial markets. Experts detail how blockchain will level the playing field, offer individuals more financial sovereignty, and create greater transparency in operations.
The work is curated and edited by BRI co-founder Alex Tapscott, who provides the leadoff chapter as well as a preface to some of the biggest transformations to the financial services industry.
“Every business in every industry is being transformed by the blockchain revolution, but the impact on financial services will be cataclysmic,” said Tapscott. “This work brings together thought leadership from the world’s foremost experts on blockchain, to help readers navigate the impending disruption. Companies that understand this shift, the biggest change in value perhaps ever, can survive and even prosper in the next wave of business convulsions.”
Other contributors include Michael J. Casey, Alexis Collomb, Primavera de Filippi, Andreas Park, Klara Sok, Bob Tapscott, Fennie Wang, and Anthony Williams.
The book, distributed by Barlow Publishing, is now available for preorder on Amazon. All revenues from the book after costs will be reinvested in the research and member programs of the BRI.
